I keep clicking on what people are making what looks like killmails or multiple items, or bpos for sale in local,

but it is a masked link to restart the entire tutorial, its extremely annoying to have to click through 30 pages of this stuff to get it to go away.

Please declare this a exploit.

And what game mechanic are they exploiting?
You don't even know what the word means.

Alternatively:
What exactly forces you to click everything?
It's not them.

Blame yourself.
It would most likely be a first.
How about not blaming others for your own doings.

yeah sounds like something that shouldn't be going on since it's go no real purpose except to annoy people

suggest you mail the gamemasters, who take feedback now, and make them aware of what's going on

posting in general discussion won't get you anywhere. i doubt it's ever going to be labelled an exploit, but maybe something can be done to stop the practice or make it less annoying

Why not adress the real issue?

There is nothing wrong with annoying people.
If you go that route, people will want everything to be removed.

The problem is within the person who clicks links and shouldn't.

Do you click everything that's being posted?

I stopped doing that long ago.

Wow, I can learn!
Why can't she???

Local is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gona get.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

apparently links should unironically never be clicked. annoying people with no reason is obviously antisocial, and 'if you go that route' is slippery slope horseshit

If you briefly point to a link before clicking it, won't the tooltip tell you exactly what manner of link it really is?
Take a moment to look before you click.

Who put the goat in there?

Protecting everyone from things a few are whining about is WORSE.
If she is such a tool that she keeps falling for it ...
... then the issue is with her.

You don't see floods of tears about this.
If that doesn't tell you something then that's your problem.

I'll repeat the important part for you:
Protecting wveryone from things that affect only the stupid is WORSE!

No one is harmed by this.
Annoyance is not a crime!

Sheesh!

It would most likely say "Open Tutorial"
It definitely would not say "Show Contract" or "Kill Report."

floods of tears are not an indicator of something that needs fixing, they're an indicator a single carebear missed a mining cycle

and yeah, if something's annoying with no gameplay purpose, it's a fault to be repaired

With that logic it would be ok to make it so people could make links that make you instantly biomass.

Please don't talk about logic when you have none.

If "making them biomass" equals "annoyance" for you ...
... instead of "gamebreaking" ...
... then please go annoy yourself!

Sheesh! Think! Please!

yeah i can imagine

linking tutorials is obviously helpful for isd, so that feature shouldn't be broken

What is broken exactly?

The only thing broken is the person who clicks a link before checking where it leads!

What are you, a protector of stupid?

No offence but basic "internet awareness" should stop you from clicking anything without knowing what it is. I know this is like telling my male clients to not sent personal data to Elena, Jessica and so on because they asked them to do so during a relaxed skype chatter but hey, be a better/smarter person and don´t click it.

I do it too in EvE and sometimes get a good laugh out of it but when that stuff annoys you simply don´t click it. :)
